God doesn't see me as a failure.
If that were true, then why was it necessary for God to have Jesus punished for our sins?
The fact is, we all are complete failures at living the sort of righteous life God intended for us to have. That's why we need the salvation of His son.
And it's perfectly fine to admit to yourself you failed at a certain task, or let a day get away from you. Losing gracefully builds humility, and creates a sense of urgency to change, so those sorts of failings don't happen as often.
But, constantly winning does nothing but make you think everything is fine and there is no need for change. And why should you change is everything's all right?
Turning every defeat into a victory is nothing more than making a convoluted excuse as to why everything's fine and going according to plan.
There's no shame in admitting defeat.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God
